EnglishUSA has several different forums with which you can engage on the website and/or subscribe to for email inbox notifications. We are initially starting with one general and six interest area forums based on feedback from our members.

Open Member Forum: All EnglishUSA members are highly encouraged to subscribe to this forum as it will eventually replace the listserv. Associates are welcome to post once/monthly on the open forum.

We highly encourage all EnglishUSA members to subscribe at minimum to the "Open Member Forum" so that you will receive up-to-date information from the membership in your inbox. Eventually, the "Open Member Forum" will replace the current listserv in one of the final steps of our member consolidation.

Curriculum & Assessment: This forumprovides a community to help faculty, staff, and administrators to share insights and questions in efforts to develop best practices with IEP curricula and assessment.

International Enrollment Management: This forum addresses the needs of IEP personnel who work with admissions, enrollment management, sponsored program administration, and student services as well as those who work closely with their institutions or partnering institutions.

Recruitment & Marketing: This forum addresses the needs of IEP personnel who are directly responsible for student recruitment and marketing. Resources from EnglishUSA Associates will be ‘stored’ in this group.

Standards & Accreditation: This forum provides a community for IEP personnel to discuss issues with standards and accreditation specifically for IEPs.

Advocacy: This forum provides a community for EnglishUSA members interested in issues that address international education as a whole but also specifically those related to IEPs.

Products & Services: This forum is for everyone interested in keeping up-to-date with the products, services, and upcoming events offered by EnglishUSA Associate members. Associates are welcome to post at any time on this forum.
